I would recommend stripping all the bits off and sanding it down with some 3M paper 300 then 600. Do this just to remove the paint and try to keep most of the old primer on. Then mask it off with some good quality tape. I myself would not use any chemicals to clean it as your best bet would then be to take it to a car smash repair shop and get the painter to spray some primer and a two pack coat over it using leftovers of what ever cars that are in the shop, he will also prep the surface with the right stuff. The amount of cars that go through those places means you can get the colour you want and they will do the job without your bone dome looking like an orange skin or big drips down the side.
